Salt Lake City took in Somali ‘refugees’. Now it’s going to pay the price. In a race roiled in recent weeks by scandal, Liban Mohamed, the Muslim son of Somali immigrants, pulled off a surprising upset in a crowded 1st Congressional District, winning the endorsement of a majority of Democratic delegates at the party’s state convention Saturday. “It’s a progressive’s time to lead. It’s the working class’ time to lead,” Mohamed said after the results were announced Saturday night. “The support is growing as people get to know us and learn about the campaign we’re running, the positivity that we...

In a race roiled in recent weeks by scandal, Liban Mohamed, the Muslim son of Somali immigrants, pulled off a surprising upset in a crowded 1st Congressional District, winning the endorsement of a majority of Democratic delegates at the party’s state convention Saturday.

He is not a U.S. citizen, but whether he will be deported in the wake of his conviction remains unclear. The trial for Mohamed was held just a few days before Christmas and not a word of the conviction has...

Weeks after the New York Times failed in its motion to dismiss Project Veritas's defamation suit, the NYT was forced to answer the allegations in writing. The answers were recently made public. Though carefully tailored to reveal as little as possible, the answers betray incredible insight as to how the "Newspaper of Record" works behind the scenes, as well as the division of labor in the manufacturing of American political propaganda. In September 2020, Project Veritas ran a story featuring unedited video clips of Mr. Liban Mohamed, a Minneapolis political operative working for Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, conducting an illegal ballot-harvesting...
